Lebron James is a coward

[HOFCeluck]

Get T'd up. Shove Granger off you. He wont get suspended for that. Dunk and then stare down the Pacers. In the flow of the game give somebody a subtle "whats up" elbow. Players do it all the time, Lebron does not. Just ask yourself how Kobe, Melo, Durant would react in LBJ situation. Ive seen all 3 of them go back at people. You cant just throw a weird elbow in the air and then cry to the ref. ESPN Firsttake has a whole segment on right now about Lebron needing to develop a backbone. Hes getting called out all over the place, especially in the hip hop world for getting punked right now.

I went out to get coffee and turned on my xm radio to HipHopNation and the DJ was asking people to go on her Twitter and respond to the question "Is Lebron getting punked". Rightly or wrongly its the perception right now.

ESPN Firsttake.

HipHopNation.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Ummm ok. I guess you're waiting for CNN to set up a Lebron poll. Im just saying its out there.

NO BRO I'M SERIOUS. SKIP BAYLESS? DOES LEBRON KNOW?

Mike Wilbon and Magic Johnson also discussed Lebron and if he needs to man up. Maybe you have a sarcastic remark for them too?

Heat cancel practice and media availability today. ???

OK, so he misses two huge free throws with just under a minute with his team down by one.

The team loses.

Fine. I dont think that necessarily means he is some gigantic no heart choker or anything but what really showed us who he is was his comments AFTER the game.

what does he say about the free throws ? "those two free throws did not win or lose the game"

What? Can you imagine Kobe or Jordan missing two free throws in a similar situation and then saying ANYTHING other than something like this?

"I need to hit those two shots. I let my team down. This one is on me."

THAT is what the greatest players say and feel...whether or not its even true. This is how you lead and this is how you must view your importance to the team's success.

Lebron has a very fragile confidence, so fragile that he cannot even lay blame upon himself lest he lose his mojo.

That is not a psyche that lends itself to greatness.

A coward is one who sits behind a computer screen calling another a coward!

Carmelo thread...5 replies.

Lebron thread...500 replies.

this is now the 12th most commented upon thread in forum history . . . ten more replies after mine and it passes the Jokes and Favorite Beer threads into the top ten. A "Melo vs. Lebron" thread from a couple of weeks ago is the #2 most commented thread of all time, and probably would have passed to #1 if the mods hadn't locked it.

I often wonder whether the people so obsessed with knocking Lebron down are similar to the legislators who are obsessed with marginalizing homosexuals, but who later turn out to be closet cases themselves.

You "often" wonder that? Thats a strange correlation to be spending so much time thinking about.

of course it means "I often wonder (when reading these obsessive posts) . . ."

sensitive much?

I have a feeling a few of these posters are going to turn out to be LeBron.

This thread deserves to crack the top ten. I'm just glad to do my part.

He's not even the best player on his team.

Replace Lebron with Carmelo and the same cast of characters would be lauding Anthony for being "savvy" and "heady" when Granger tried to get into his head.

They would also demand DWade's head on a pike the way he's let his teamate down when he needed him the most.

C'mon! Just trying to do my part here !

Once the seasons ends these threads always take over. The 2013 version if LeBron doesn't win this year will be even more EPIC!

If you hopped in a time machine you'd find super-long threads about Kobe and whether he could win on his own w/out Shaq too. Those stopped when Kobe won, the LeBron threads will die down if ever wins one too, so get in while you can.

If I hop in a time machine I plan to go back far enough so that the Internet, sports talk radio, ESPN and half the posters on this board don't exist.

And no one has ever owned the internet like Lebron James. I cant think of anyone else who has put the net on tilt for this long. Millions of people watching and fawning over each and every move and most people are tuning in each time just to hate on it! That is crazy power he holds.

You're crazy, Mr. Cool Ice owns the internet.

He'd stand up to Danny, Stewart, and Farley Granger.

He played great today. Noone disputes him being the best in the game, lets just see if he can overcome his two criticisms; Winning a Championship and coming through in the clutch. If/when he does that, I think he can be put up against MJ for best to ever play the game. Unfortunately playing with Wade and Bosh (assuming they get by Indy and Bosh returns) will always cloud the argument for G.O.A.T.
